Bilic spot on over Irons hard luck

Snapshot Week 31. Friday, April 1, 2016.

When Slaven Bilic moaned that the penalty wrongly awarded against West Ham at Chelsea was merely the latest in a long line of injustices to strike his side this season, he had a point.

In fact, the disgruntled Irons manager may well have had four points – going by the calculations of the Hypothetical Premier League, where we use video reviews and expert punditry to assess and correct the crunch refereeing howlers over the course of the campaign.

Forget about being in the thick of the race for Champions League qualification – as they are in real-life – in our parallel universe the Hammers are eyeing an even bigger prize…ruling the English elite supreme.

Yes, an astonishing Double would still be a distinct possibility for the FA Cup quarter-finalists but for some wretched hard luck over a number of weeks and months.
